NCT03646474

Brief Summary

The Tranexamic Acid group will receive an intravenous bolus of (10 mg/kg) in 100 ml of normal saline over 20 minutes after induction of anesthesia and before surgical incision. In the control group, patients will receive a placebo of 100 mL 0.9% normal saline. The primary endpoint is reduction in blood loss, while the secondary endpoint was the number of patients needing transfusion and occurrence of postoperative thrombotic complications (myocardial infarction, stroke, pulmonary embolism, renal failure, or bowel infarction) within 30 days after surgery.
